I would absolutely love to visit this place every day of a life of 100 years. This is beautiful indeed. And did you know this connects all Esfahan to one place. Inside you see the all new and outside you will see the old Esfahan. My trip of three days wasn't enough to explore this one place in Esfahan. Every street takes you to the next world of excellence.

Wishing to be able to sit here for 12 hours.

Such a calm and holy light place. For me, this is the best place to be with yourself, meditating, observing both nature and human.

Genius human create this 🎇

A unique landmark in Iran and in the world, definitely worth a visit or at least a walk on the square. Great place, with friendly locals

Words not enough to describe the beauty!!! Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is a must to see when visiting Esfahan. It is one of the masterpieces of Iranian architecture that was built during the Safavid Empire, standing on the eastern side of Naqsh-i Jahan Square, Esfahan, Iran. Spot 1 h to explore the beauty and history of the mosque. Try to visit early morning when its quiet. Highly recommended!!!

This mosque is one of the main tourist attractions in Isfahan and is one of the four main buildings in Naghsh Jahan Square. The beauty of this mosque and its beautiful roof is praiseworthy. Do not miss to see this unique mosque. I suggest you sit a little under the dome and experience peace and relaxing.

Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is one more beautiful mosque of Iran which shows marvelous Iranian art work. Interestingly, due to the sun rays, the dome changes between blue to pink.
This mosque was built just for Royal family and royal females but time never remains a same. Later on, it was opened for general public. I like this mosque which is small in size but full of detailed art work. Excellent indeed!!!

Just two words to describe it: Awesome and unmissable! The interiors of this Mosque are magnificent and you could be never tired to gaze them. The highest point of persian Islamic architecture.
